Comment:

 Instead of doing this opening and closing dance which is quite annoying,
 someone could try to actually analyze the proposed privacy, security, and
 performance gains adding $extension to Tor Browser, especially compared to
 the privacy, security, etc. means Tor Browser *already* offers. Please,
 include the downsides of adding $extension to the browser as well (our
 design document might help).

 Regarding Tails including an adblocker, you might want to re-read

 Do make this clear here: there are no short- or medium-term plans to
 include an adblocker in Tor Browser.
